This volume, written by a long time resident and geologist, brings to life the secrets of Cape Anne{\textquoteright}s geology as well as the environmental impact current and past land use has had on the cape from a geological perspective. Also included is a geologic field guide to ten fascinating localities along the rocky shore." - From the book cover.
